If ever there was a case of an entire film being sabotaged by its final act, it is Martyrs. It begins ever so forcifully like a deleted scene from High Tension, Inside, or other French survival films and quickly ratchets up a good amount of scenes between the two lead girls. However at the one hour mark, an odd detour and shoehorned exposition turn a great horror film into random scenes of senseless violence. I have nothing against violence if it serves a purpose in a film. Here it just destroys the previous sixty minutes' good work.
